I was about to do this exact swap... Until I his a deer in my eg at 50mph. It's a good idea just depends on how deep your pockets are. It's not a cheap build and some things are hard to find.

Start by checking google for a parts list. That's honestly half the battle. Parts for that can add up and be harder to find.

Do you know how much a K swap is going to cost you?



between the ECU and tuning you could be looking at $1800+

Agreed^

Figure your budget when I was looking I found a k24 motor for 600 from my local junkyard no trans. Only motor. Your looking at over 1500 on just motor mounts, wiring harness, shift linkage and ecu

Just saying man is this your first project car jw. Figure budget and how difficult the swap u want to do is. Do something simple first man. A k20/k24 isn't a walk in the park kind of swap. Do something that's in your budget and skill check the FAQ sticky. It will help u tons.

Yeah if this is your first swap go with something that is going to drop right in, plug and chug. K series will give you a lot of headaches if you don't know what your doing
